A thought occurred for something that I'd like to see in HW, unlikely though it doubtlessly is: scaled tome rewards for roulettes. At present, you can get anywhere between 20 and 45 poetics from High Level depending on the roll of the dice as to which dungeon you end up with. It'd be really nice if the bonus scaled up to a maximum, so if you were to get stuck with the equivalent of WP/AK, you'd still get a decent reward.

mightygerm posted:Is it just me or is the Flying Fat Chocobo kind of tasteless? I mean, it's animated like it's constantly out of breath as you fly it around with cake on a string. Well, he was originally used as an item bank because he can store massive amounts of goods in his crop, then later gained the ability to be dropped onto unsuspecting enemies' heads. So the old boy hasn't exactly enjoyed the most dignified role in the games. For my part, I find him too adorable to get annoyed at it.

Eej posted:It's apparently more blatant in the Japanese version while we got crazy old man ranting from him in the English localization. Basically. He spells out rather unambiguously that he's stripping the Blessing, which was going to fade on its own eventually, to see if you (as a mortal) will still make the right decisions and "lead Man whence the Light guides them" even though you've been cut off from Earthmom. It's a trial, to see if you're a bad enough hero to bring an end to the War.

Captain Oblivious posted:And the English translation can lead to all the same conclusions. One just has to actually have the ability to infer things from context! I never said that it couldn't!  I am not really equipped to comment on the localized version of the scene, but I have seen quite a few people scratching their heads over it. Which would suggest (to me, at least) that either it requires a higher level of inference, or the less-is-more approach to dragonspeak could use some work.

Chimatsuri (Bloodbath) is a fancy name for the NIN LB3, especially considering it really just appears to be the NIN spamming the Throw command.  And it of course begs the question of whether the Ascians have enough weapons.

I'm hoping that in their zeal to make a healer that could fulfill the role of either, they didn't accidentally make one that obsoletes both. Also, the obvious solution to choosing how to use the cards is to announce that the first person to reply will get the buff, and then use it on a random person.

El Cid posted:I like that they had to put at least some amount of thought into what order the classes that start at level 30 "got" their abilities at, just so they can be taken away for low level dungeons/guildhests. Those are such a joke now anyway they should just let the new classes be LLDR superstars and have 30 levels worth of abilities in Sastasha. Even better: Your stats are still scaled down, but you retain all of the abilities that you would otherwise have before Level Sync. Stuff like Flare and Holy to light up the dingy halls of Sastasha.

Apropos of nothing, I finally figured out who that voice in the JP launch trailer was, and why it sounded familiar. It's Orikasa Ai.Fat_Cow posted:500k, I have no idea if I am being scammed. If that's to get you from 1 to 50 in any given craft, it's more than it'd cost to just buy the HQ items off the markets for certain crafts. If I recall correctly, WVR tended to be one of the more expensive ones but it might still cost less to just buy the items depending on your server. I'd suggest looking up what the best turn-ins for a few of the level ranges are, and just check the boards to see if they can be bought sufficiently cheaply and in bulk.

I'm not particularly broken-hearted about the Holy change since there's a couple more toys to play with in exchange, I'm just surprised by how robust the nerf to it and Flare was. That said, I really do hope that HW designs dungeons around trash being somewhat less mind-numbing.
